Petits ponts de granit sur la rivière Romanée et Pierres de Légendes de Saint-Martin

With a thirst for chlorophyll, for walks along sunken paths through leafy forests, for the cool mist of early morning in the Morvan valleys, for moss in the undergrowth, for legendary stones and for unspoilt biodiversity, the Saint-Germain-de-Modéon hiking loop is sure to please!

Discover the Saulieu region and the capital of Morvan, from the intimacy of the François Pompon museum to the splendor of the Romanesque Basilica of Saint-Andoche, Saulieu has many surprises in store for lovers of sculpture and art in the city.

Take a stroll through the area, and discover the advertising frescoes from the heyday of the Nationale 6 and our art artisans. An old café with an art deco façade, a typical late 19th-century train station, the château of Henri IV's favorite: the diversity of our villages' heritage is sure to surprise you.

Did you know? Saulieu is the capital of the Christmas tree! Thanks to its privileged position at the gateway to the Morvan Natural Park, the region exports hundreds of thousands of fir trees for Christmas decorations. In winter, around a roaring log fire, let us tell you all about the legends and enchantment of Christmas. The many "stones of legends", megaliths and atypical rocks in our region will take you on a journey alongside fantastic beings.

Combining Morvan and Auxois, on the Bibracte-Alésia, between the basilica of Vézelay, the abbey of Fontenay, the vineyards of the Beaune region and the great lakes, the Saulieu region welcomes you. Looking for sports and leisure activities in the great outdoors? Come and play in the great natural stadium of the Morvan. Hike, gallop, ride, climb, fish, as a family or as a sportsman. The former quarry of La Roche-en-Brenil offers you the deepest natural diving site in Eastern France and the Offroad Granitic Morvan courses.
